The project came about when Wil of ENI Inc., based in Bronx NY, contacted me about a possible collaboration. Having seen his custom t-shirt and artwork I immediately jumped at the chance to put something together and was anxious to start our "meeting of the minds". The main thing that stands out to me about his work is how original it is from the concepts to the way the shirts are constructed..the stitching, the patching, the painting, everything! When I first saw his work up close and in person it was like "forget what you know about custom shirts...this here is next level"! So after lots of back & forth contact, tossing ideas around, sending each other preliminary pics, and doing some hanging out & chopping it up about new ideas, the Poisonous Venom project became a reality! Yes there were a few delays but we still made it happen.

Check out the pics:

The combo is currently for sale and has already gotten tons of feedback and inquiries after just one day! From what I have heard from Wil, the ENI Inc. online store will be opening soon, so check out & support ENI Inc. for the hottest custom gear out & of course Ecentrik Artistry for custom footwear. Ecentrik & ENI are also planning something new down the road so stay tuned!

The latest of my wrestling themes is based on probably the most popular faction in professional wrestling. The Bullet Club is a wrestling faction in Ring Of Honor Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling consisting of Cody Rhodes (son of the legendary Dusty Rhodes), Adam Cole (ROH World Champion), Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks (ROH World Tag Team Champions), Hangman Page, Guerrillas of Destiny (G.O.D.), Frankie Kazarian, Yujiro Takahashi, Bad Luck Fale, & Bone Soldier. For those who were wrestling fans in the 90's, think a new and improved version of the NWO (but with better talent IMO). Former members of the group include current WWE superstars Prince Devitt (aka Finn Balor), Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, and former world champion AJ Styles.

Recently, a close friend of mine who's also a huge wrestling fan as well as a talented artist (check out his Facebook pages...he does sports art themes and caricatures...and yes he takes commissions!) commissioned me to do some sneaker…

This custom theme takes the Puma Smash shoe and give it a funky graffiti inspired twist using mainly primary colors, giving it an old school hip hop inspired vide and style. These are currently available at the website (men's sizes only) and only one pair will be made for each available size.

The idea for these came from an old baby picture of me with my mom. I mentioned how she resembled Marvel Comics character Misty Knight (mom was rocking an awesome fro' in the pic) and she gave me the idea to make her a pair of boots themed after the character. For those unaware, Misty Knight is a Marvel super hero and supporting character in the Luke Cage Netflix series. In the comics, she's a kick ass super hero with a metal arm who's skilled in martial arts, has super strength, and is the love interest of Iron Fist (who's Netflix series debuts next spring).

The base for the custom was a pair of women's black leather Timberland boots. I decided to go primarily red for the base color (similar to the above pic) and added a comic book-like style and here's the finished product:

I even included the Daughters of the Dragon logo on the hangtag that came with the boots (Daughters of the Dragon is a comic book series starring Misty Knight and Colleen Wing). And…
